Join Our Circle and Make a Commitment to Your Writing Life!
Sisters in Script
is a gathering place for women who labor with words. I believe we are all saturated with story and putting them on the page is an impulse we cannot ignore and should not resist.
We admire you and know that your talents may not be recognized and many of your stories might never be published through traditional channels. That is precisely why Sisters-in-Script exists. We want to read your work and it delights us to see your stories in print.
We see you …
- Polishing a perfect line in a poem,
- Creating the vibrant characters in your fiction,
- Researching details for accuracy in your historical fiction,
- Combing the depths of your personal experience to bring your creative non-fiction or memoir to life.
We hear your words …
- At writing conferences from Santa Barbara, CA to Saratoga, NY,
- In workshops offered by the International Women’s Writing Guild and Amherst Writers and Artists,
- In Master Classes with Billy Collins, Charlotte Mandel, David Whyte, Dorianne Laux, Dorothy Randall Gray, Eunice Scarfe, Gail Straub, Joyce Maynard, June Gould, Kris Faatz, Maria Mazziotti Gillan, Natalie Goldberg, Patricia Lee Lewis, Perie Longo, Peter Murphy, Shaun Levin and Ted Kooser.
- At your kitchen tables and in writing retreats.
We witness you …
- Multitasking and finding time to fit your writing in your busy and multi-faceted life,
- Making the effort and then despairing that it is nowhere near good enough,
- Writing and rewriting your words until they represent what you experienced, what you are feeling, what you wish to convey,
- Dusting off an old manuscript and facing down your fears to complete it.
